That handguns are dangerous at all is a subtle conceit. Guns used in crimes, or guns that ever fire a round into a person for any reason, are an exceedingly small rarity. Even if you were to buy 100 black market pistols, the chances of any single one of them having ever been used in the commission of a crime -other- than it's sale to you is slim to none. What the ATF and many investigators have found, is that guns used in the commission of crimes are often used in the commission of others...even by different perps. A small subset of a small subset being passed around within a specific demographic. A two tier system of black market procurement. They've realized that cracking down on distributors and straw purchasers pursuant to existing federal law has a greater effect on the number of small arms at the lower level of the scheme, and thus gun crimes.
Take care not to slip back and forth between two types of danger. The danger, at the level of a national problem to be addressed by federal law...is not in the operation of a handgun, but in it's manner of use.
